Model 507 Current Pulse Generator

Product catalog summary

Overview: The Berkeley Nucleonics Corporation Model 507 is an adjustable current pulse generator designed for initiators and pyrotechnics. It offers features such as current sensing and resistance measurements, facilitating easy no-fire and all-fire testing, and supports Bruceton and Neyer testing.

Key Features:

Independent current levels unaffected by load resistance.
Variable pulse widths (0.1 to 100 ms) and current levels up to 25 amps.
TTL Sync Out for zero delay reference and trigger.
Analog current monitor for each channel.
Applicable for airbag squib, initiator, fuse, detonator, explosive, and pyrotechnic applications.

Specifications:

Channels: Available in 2, 4, or 8 independent outputs with digitally controlled current delay and pulse width.
Delay: 0 to 99.9999998 seconds with 200 ns resolution and 100 ns accuracy.
External Trigger/Delays: Rate from DC to 1/(75us + largest delay and width combination), with a threshold of 3 V.
Computer Interface: RS232 standard, with optional IEEE 488 and GPIB.
Outputs: Slew rate > 2.5A/us, overshoot < 150mA, amplitude 25A with 50 mA resolution.
Internal Rate Generator: Modes include single shot and external trigger with 100 ns RMS jitter.
General: Stores up to 12 configurations, dimensions 7.5” x 9.0” x 4.0”, weight 10 lbs, power 20 watts at 120 or 220V AC, 1-year warranty.

Additional Features:

Peak outputs to 25 Amps.
Compliance voltage up to 45 V.
Quick recall of system configurations.
On-screen menus and help.
Current monitor for each channel.

M O D E L 5 507 507 CURRENT PULSE GENERATOR The Model 507 is a current source pulse generator which provides current levels to a load that are independent of the value of the load resistance. The majority of pulse generators are voltage sources and their currents change when load resistance changes. In addition to load resistance independence, Model 507 pulses can have current levels, pulse widths and pulse delays that are unique to each channel. You can precisely control the width and amplitude of the pulse and the time between pulses. Widths are variable between 0.1 to 100 msec, and levels...
